Don’t Be Sad
Don’t be sad and lonely, because I’ve gone away.
Think about me only, when it’s a brighter day.
Don’t waste your time crying, since I’m no longer here.
You have spent enough time, showing me that you care.
Wipe away your sadness, for tears won’t bring relief.
Cherish the memories, forget about your grief.
If I could be with you, that is where I would be,
But I have no power, to change life’s destiny.
So try to be happy, don’t mourn your life away,
For we’ll be together, at the end of life’s day.
To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me
When I am gone, release me, let me go,
I have many things to see and do
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave to you my love. You can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness
I thank you for the love you each have shown
But now it’s time I traveled on alone.
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must;
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only for a time that we must part,
So bless the memories that lie within your heart.
I won’t be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me call and I will come
Though you can’t see me or touch me I’ll be near.
And if you listen with your heart you will hear
All of my love around you soft and clear.
And then, when you come this way alone….
I’ll greet you with a smile and say
‘‘WELCOME HOME’’

Rain’E Jo Kavanaugh, 57, of Eagle Butte, passed away
Monday, March 25, 2019 at Avera St. Luke’s
Hospital, Aberdeen.
Rain’E Jo Kavanaugh (Roanna Ree Cavanaugh) was
born June 27, 1961 to Marlene Laundreaux and Marvin
Cavanaugh in Eagle Butte, SD. Rain’E had a rough start
from the beginning as she weighed a little over two
pounds when she was born. She had to stay in an
incubator until November of that year. When she had
gained a little over four pounds, she was allowed to go
home with her parents.
Rain’E attended the Swiftbird Day School until the sixth grade, and then she attended
7th and 8th grade at C-E-B School. She attended C-E-B High School through the 10th grade,
eventually obtaining her GED in 1983. Rain’E attended United Tribes Educational
Technical Center in 1983-84, graduating with a degree in business clerical.
Rain’E worked as an administrative secretary for Kurt Luger, the Administrative
Officer for the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe during Wayne Ducheneaux’s term as
chairman for the CRST from 1986-1989. She then worked in a variety of positions until
she became the CRST Bingo Operations Manager from 1995-1999.
In 2000, Rain’E was diagnosed with a large tumor growing within her brain. She
underwent surgery in August, where the doctors removed most of the tumor. She then
went through radiation treatments to stop any regrowth. This was successful; however, it
left her handicapped. Rain’E was released from the hospital in November of that year.
Rain’E’s mother took care of her until January of 2014 when it became too difficult to
pick her up when she fell. Rain’E didn’t hesitate when asked if she would check into the
Oahe Manor in Gettysburg. She knew this would ease the burden on her mother. Rain’E
remained there the rest of her life.
Rain’E is survived by her mother, Marlene Laundreaux Bowker; son, Jason (Roni)
Dupris and children; daughter, Rocki Maynard (Kraig Forgey) and children; brothers:
Scott (Gloria) Laundreaux and family, Frankie (Connie) Cavanaugh and family, and
Jeffery Bowker and daughters; uncle, Melvin Garreau Sr. and family; three uncles and
six aunts from Spirit Lake Nation: Michael Cavanaugh and family, Clifford (Mushrat)
Cavanaugh and family, Bruno Cavanaugh and family, Dianne (Plum) and Butch Lohnes
and family, Viola (Cookie) and Leo Delorme and family, Loretta and Glenn Delorme and
family, Barbara and Carl Walking Eagle and family, Judy and Dave LaRocque and
family, and Cheryl Cavanaugh and Family.
Rain’E was preceded in death by her son, Stetson Cavanaugh; father, Marvin
Cavanaugh Anderson; step-father, Ellsworth Bowker; niece, Jerie Cavanaugh; maternal
grandparents: Joseph and Amelia Laundreaux; and paternal grandparents: Michael and
Irene Cavanaugh.
